Tompsukka Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Those lights look amazing! Not too modern and not too old looking! And the whole car is just beautifull. Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks for the replies! The car is really a labor of love. I cannot wait to strap my son in the backseat like I was when I was his age and go for a long cruise. Family car, maybe. But this one has style!:cool: Quote Link to comment
Guest jaimesix Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hey Zerow. Once my car is on the road, I want to install a kill switch and other deterrent devices, hope you can give me a hand with the planning, I know you are some sort of McGiver kind of guy! That will also be an opportunity to check the sedan at close range!:) jaime.______________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment

zerow Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 lights, .paint and trim look great nice job . from the photo thats a very clean 610:) Thanks buddy! She is a long way off from complete. I have a few more mods to handle before I can say she's done. The taillight harness is complete (more like a complete no-brainer). I'm taking the one from the sport coupe. I didn't know all three bulbs are dual filament !!!:D Quote Link to comment
610SSS Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Nice 610 mate:cool: Are 4doors rare in usa? Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Nice 610 mate:cool: Are 4doors rare in usa? Thanks for the compliment! Rare? I know of two 4-door projects here in Southern California, mine and one from San Diego, so I would have to say yes to that question. Most of the "cool" projects are two doors, as the 4 door and wagon 610s are family cars and not considered performance cars. Quote Link to comment

Most of the "cool" projects are two doors, as the 4 door and wagon 610s are family cars and not considered performance cars. Let me exclude myself from that asessment Zerow, I always saw the potential in sedans. Had I gotten one before my coupe, I would be the third one sedan in the works!:) Most consider the 2 door a sportier ride, only pundits know better!;) Jaime.______________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I knew you'd chime in on this Jaime - I know your love of a 4 door. I would never run a two door, albeit the lines are clean, I want the versitility of the 4 door. No getting out of my seat to let friends or my son in the car. No kicking the upholstery as you get in/out of the car. No one telling me to move my seat up or the passenger to move their seat up to accomodate the rear seat passenger(s). And the biggest reason... My sedan weighs less than the coupe! :D Quote Link to comment

zerow Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 :( No JCCS for me this year, guys. I will be there to visit and chat, just no 610. I re-injured my back over the weekend, and will be out of contention for this year. 8-12 weeks for rest and recuperation, and I still may be having a hard time after that. Thanks for the votes of confidence on the project, she will still be under wraps for the time being. Just no heaving lifting... Quote Link to comment

I will need to post the latest pics (pre-back injury). The back is the height I'm looking for. Just enough to get my hand over the tire and scrape my knuckle on the fenderwell. Quote Link to comment

zerow Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Needed to get this out of the garage and on the car: The front bumper looks great on this car... :P Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 im jelious i wish my bumper was straight whats going on with the right front fender it doesnt exactly follow the grill Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 im jelious i wish my bumper was straight whats going on with the right front fender it doesnt exactly follow the grill It takes a bumper shop to get it that clean and straight. As for the fender, its character. I never noticed it until now. That, and the grille is not fully secured to the car. I need to remove and paint my radiator support and the headlight buckets. Re-center and torque that thing down. Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 The Engine Bay is prepped and now painted! And, a BIG THANK YOU to SublimeDatsun610, the engine is in as well... Quote Link to comment
